It seems each time there’s an Intel-only release, there’s an uproar from the PowerPC-using population screaming “Hey, what about us?!” The unfortunate reality for PowerPC users—and hey, I am one since I’m still using my 12-inch PowerBook G4 regularly—is that the PowerPC chip is dead. It’s toast. It’s history. The first Intel-powered Macs were introduced in January 2006, making the most recent PowerPC machine nearly four years old now. In computing years, that’s a really long time.
